I may be wrong, but I think there might be a bug in the posting of vn.el. When I run it and try to respond with the 'f' command, emacs (gnu v.18.40.4) tells me that there is a wrong argument type (stringp nul) or some such thing. Oh yeah, the routine it bombs on is the one that is in rnewspost.el called news-reply. Anyone else with this problem. BTW: everything works if I post from rnews, which uses provides vn.el with the posting routines, so I don't know what's up. Anyone willing to help??? -MikeP

Anyone else with this problem. BTW: everything works
if I post from rnews, which provides vn.el with

I had a number of problems with vn.el, but it had the promise of being
sufficiently better than basic rnews that I've spent a few hours and
taken all of the bugs out of it I could find. I also changed a whole
bunch of the standard keybindings in it, because putting things like
vn-back-page on C-h really made me ill. I'm going to post a diff, or
possibly the whole thing, in a couple of days after I'm sure it's
shaken down. This particular bug is fixed; it has to do with the fact
that rnewspost.el, which vn uses, needs to be able to reference the
Message-ID of the original article; if you have turned on full
headers, it works fine. (And my fix basically insures that full
headers are on.)
